Sea Phantom - Who's Building One?

[Meniscus]

I know someone out there is building one

imagine trying to trim that at higher speeds! In all intensive purposes, it looks like they are way behind the FE Boat community, LOL!

Ben, I would love to see that puppy in rough water

[Meniscus]

LOL, you got that one right!

[Sneasle]

Meh, bass boats can hit 70, so can jetskis.. I find little impressive about that boat.

That's exactly what I'm implying! LOL, isn't that funny?

[Sneasle]

Yup, that it is.

[Meniscus]

I had to share and couldn't resist!

[Jeff Wohlt]

Just an odd shaped big rigger! Hydrofoils work well but this one is not it.

[10gauge]

Better suited for Hollywood.

[Basstronics]

Looked slow as hell to me. Big black turd with an outboard?

You are not going to want to go 70 in a bass boat or jet ski out when the water starts getting choppy.

[Meniscus]

Obviously you're not as crazy as I am on a SeaDoo Bombardier 4-stroke, supercharged, with upgraded intake and exhaust and no rough water mods LMAO!

But you are correct NorthernBoater! Of course, I'd like to see this thing do 70 mph in rough water, LOL! That would be a sight and I'd be the one on the shore shooting with the camera and the cellphone in the other hand, having already dialed 911!

Yes, I know, my first call would be to the Coast Guard for the record.

[Sneasle]

Well... I've taken one of the 2006 seadoo 4s (the yellow GTI 3 seater) to 44mph in boat wakes on Lake Martin before... I'm not gonna say my butt was very happy with me when I got back to the dock...

Those seadoos are fun, aren't they Meniscus? Lots of power in a nice tight little package. And they corner well too.

[Meniscus]

Yeah, at high speed, you're in trouble if you catch an edge. You should see me still trying to hang on when it gets to 3 or 4 g's in a turn. Then...splash.

A recommendation: draw you legs and arms in and relax before you hit the water. Remember that usually Drunk drivers survive the accident. Still hurts, but no major injuries!

The SeaDoos aren't mine, but rather the in-laws. I have a pontoon boat! Doesn't that sound exiting? LMAO However, this year, we're going to use it as the mobile FE platform/launch.
